LATEST NEWS FROM FLORIDA REALTORS
Employers added more jobs than expected in May, a sign of labor market strength that could keep mortgage rates in focus for buyers and sellers.
The June recognition gives Realtors a timely opening to discuss ownership, wealth-building and realistic next steps with renters and future buyers.
Homebuyers over 55 are placing greater emphasis on aging-in-place features, maintenance needs and long-term lifestyle fit when searching for homes, creating new opportunities for Realtors who understand these housing concerns.
The average 30-year mortgage rate fell to 6.48%, while rates on 15-year mortgages fell to an average of 5.79%. When mortgage rates decline they give homebuyers more purchasing power.
Customers form opinions about agents before the first conversation through websites, social media, open houses and everyday interactions. Agents should focus on presentation, organization and online branding to build trust and credibility.
Florida gained $20.6 billion in adjusted gross income as taxpayers moved from other states, according to new IRS migration data. The shift reflects the continued draw of lower taxes, lifestyle preferences and housing affordability.

Upbeat Conversations and Positive Energy!
The Merger Celebration: Open House at the Brooksville office last week was another "cheers to our future" as a new entity.
The energy in the room was proof that we have hit the ground running with more resources and passion than ever before! There was lots of fun while also raising money for the REALTOR Party.
To everyone who made the night a success: THANK YOU! Here’s to our next chapter. 🥂💥 See less
